Would You Wear It? Patent Shows Inflatable Parachute Vest For Riders

Never let it be said that Airbag Inside Sweden AB has a confusing name. The company clearly wants to make sure everyone knows what it’s about, and doesn’t appear to be anywhere close to ceasing its creation of motorcycle clothing with—yes—airbags inside. In January, 2021, we first told you about the company’s motorcycle jeans, with airbags inside.  

At the time, the company noted, most airbag protection created by other companies was only meant to protect the upper body, and not the lower body. Airbag Inside’s airbag jeans were a step toward changing that. Then, in February, 2022, the company revealed...airbag shorts? At the time, I wondered who these were even for. The airbags might cushion your butt, but your knees and lower legs would have to fend for themselves. While I see plenty of riders out in shorts, I don’t think they’d necessarily choose airbags over whatever other shorts they’ve been wearing up to this point.
